I too have not been confident in my use or non-use of hyphens, putting them in and taking them out until the sentence looks or feels right, being too lazy to look up the usage rules and having long forgotten whatever rules the penguins tried to beat into my inattentive head oh so many years ago in elementary school. According to that Universal Authority on Everything, Wikipedia, "A definitive collection of hyphen rules does not exist." en.wikipedia.org No wonder we are not certain when to use them. The article then provides a definitive set of rules. Slovaks and Czechs had a "Hyphen War". en.wikipedia.org

I hope there is no Randian explosions in NZ, although the parliament will be totally gone, somehow hiding, until the 9th of october(that is what Helen says, and she is the boss, no??) PS Btw, do you still have a strong anarchist party?? Kindo strong like in the 1700s, horse, donkey, wagon and gunpowder, totally proportional, as well as a parliament?? Not, I am obviously not thinking about the obviously totally unproportional Brown, although he has not yet declared his intentions about that your Helen. PPS They are not hiding to reconsider that thing about not being funny nor silly, no?? Obviously, taking a couple of weeks off is good and smart these times, weeks and moons, considering the internal pain and pains in London and USA. Why is it that you cannot abuse the fact that Ahmad visited NY??
